The output post

[dale1]

Hey all! Just started kegging. Why didn't u start earlier?

I'm curious how long most of you keep your output hose attached? I have the picnic style dispenser. Seems like your beer could get infected If you leave it on for days?

What do you all do?

I leave mine on until the keg is empty. If you have threaded connectors be sure to tighten them with a wrench or else your beer will end up on the outside of the keg.

I leave mine on the whole time too. I usually sanitize it when I sanitize my keg, though.

Interesting and good to know. I have mine just held together by hose clamps. Nice and janky. I guess I'll just leave it on then! Thanks
